About this trial

The study systematically evaluates the diagnostic performance of FAPI-RuiJ and FAPI-04 PET/CT or PET/MR in various solid tumor types, and is expected to provide a novel molecular imaging tool for early lesion detection, accurate staging, and recurrence surveillance in patients with solid tumors.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 80 years, regardless of gender.

Participants with suspected, confirmed, or suspected recurrent solid tumors.

Participants who agree to participate in this clinical trial and provide written informed consent.

Participants with good compliance, who commit to adhering to the study procedures and cooperate with the full study process.

Disqualifiers

Patients with severe medical conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, make them unsuitable for participation in this clinical study, including but not limited to: severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, severe bone marrow suppression, and severe hepatic or renal insufficiency.

Patients with claustrophobia, severe psychiatric symptoms, or impaired consciousness that precludes cooperation with the examination procedures.

Patients who have received any anti-tumor therapy during the interval between the two PET imaging sessions.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of FAPI-RuiJ PET versus FAPI-04 PET

Overall and tumor type-specific diagnostic performance in solid tumors, using histopathology or imaging follow-up as the reference standard.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 3 years
2

AUC of FAPI-RuiJ PET versus FAPI-04 PET

Overall and tumor type-specific AUC comparison between the two tracers in solid tumors, using histopathology or imaging follow-up as the reference standard.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 3 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Comparison of SUVmax, SUVmean, and SUVpeak of FAPI-RuiJ PET versus FAPI-04 PET in solid tumor lesions

Semi-quantitative comparison of standardized uptake value (SUV) parameters (SUVmax, SUVmean, and SUVpeak) between the two tracers in solid tumor lesions.

Time frame
At the time of PET/CT scan
2

Comparison of TBR of FAPI-RuiJ PET versus FAPI-04 PET in solid tumor lesions

Semi-quantitative comparison of TBR between the two tracers in solid tumor lesions. TBR is calculated as the ratio of tumor SUVmax to background SUVmean.

Time frame
At the time of PET/CT scan
3

Biodistribution characteristics of FAPI-RuiJ PET in normal organs

Quantitative assessment of FAPI-RuiJ tracer biodistribution in major normal organs (including brain, submandibular gland, thyroid, lung, descending aorta, heart, liver, pancreas, stomach, spleen, kidney, bone, muscle, small intestine, gallbladder) measured by SUVmean and SUVmax on PET/CT images using ROI-based analysis.

Time frame
At the time of PET/CT scan
4

Correlation between FAPI-RuiJ PET semi-quantitative parameters and clinicopathological characteristics in solid tumors

Correlation analysis between FAPI-RuiJ PET semi-quantitative uptake parameters (including SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak, TBR and clinicopathological characteristics, including tumor markers (e.g., CEA, CA19-9, AFP, etc.), pathological subtype, and immunohistochemical markers (e.g., Ki-67, PD-L1, EGFR, etc.). Correlations will be assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (ρ), with statistical significance set at p \< 0.05.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 3 years
